4 d. ago ‘Patients will suffer’: tales from the frontline of the UK pharma crisis

The pricing standoff between government and industry has stalled research and put thousands of jobs at risk‘We want to see more investment flow to Britain,” the chancellor, Rachel Reeves, urged of big pharmaceutical companies this month, as she indicated that the government was willing to increase the price it pays for NHS drugs. Ministers are likely to announce a rethink on pricing soon, potentially by the end of this week.But the size of that rise remains uncertain. The big question is whether it will be generous enough to convince pharmaceutical companies, which account for a near-£100bn slice of the UK economy, to resume the investments they had paused in a strong-arm campaign to secure concessions from government.

7 d. ago Matty Cash sinks Manchester City to maintain Aston Villa’s climb up the table

For Manchester City and Erling Haaland, another fruitless visit to Villa Park. It was not quite last season, when defeat here approaching Christmas was a ninth in a dozen matches, but it was equally painful. With a minute of regular time to play, Haaland clattered into a post after meeting a cross by Omar Marmoush, having squeezed the ball over the Aston Villa goalline. But the assistant referee raised his flag and, as Haaland lay wincing, a check from the video assistant referee confirmed the goal would not stand.There is sufficiently much more positivity surrounding Pep Guardiola’s side at present but this proved another frustrating trip, Matty Cash’s superbly taken strike ultimately the difference. Villa have now won their last four Premier League matches. Continue reading...

9 d. ago ‘Every time I step outside, the first thing on my mind is my forehead’: the women getting hair transplants

A growing wave of women are turning to what was once seen as a surgery for men, hoping it will cure their self-consciousness about high hairlines and thinning crowns. But with treatments costing thousands and bodge jobs common, is it suitable – or even safe?Aria, 27, first noticed her hair falling out after she had Covid in 2021. “It started receding at the temples,” she says, adding that, after two further bouts of Covid, the hair on the side of her head is now fluffy and sparse. A part-time nanny studying for a master’s in speech therapy, she hides the problem with a fringe. When she goes out, she wears a cap or headband to anchor it down, but activities such as walking in the wind or swimming feel impossible. “Even a fringe is not protective enough because at any minute someone could flick it up,” she says. “It makes me feel so vulnerable.”Aria started watching YouTube and TikTok videos of hair transplants two years ago. Now she has decided to take the plunge herself, and in a fe...
